BEST ANSWER:I used it on the frame. I built coffee tables for my sons that the drawers pull thru from both sides. Placed the tape where the drawer slides. My sons have used it for over a year and there has been no problems with tape coming off or rolling up.

Not sure what kind of jig or sled you have in mind, but anywhere you have 2 sliding surfaces like the drawer illustration should work fine. This is a great product where you don't want to bother with fancy drawer hardware.

That is a ridiculously uninformative answer! Customers like myself are purchasing this tape to stop old drawers without guides to stop squeaking or sticking. How are we supposed to know what the requirements of the project are??! I would like to know whether to buy the 3/4 in or the 1/2 inch..How do I decide?? The size of the drawer. Or what?? From the picture it looks like you put two strips of tape on either side of opening on the dresser under the drawer...so which do I buy??

Use the approximate width of the points of contact. An example is an old kitchen cabinet drawer. The bottom of the drawer on each side has contact with the frame that is as wide as the lumber on each side of the drawer box. In other words, the place where the drawer contacts the cabinet frame is 1/2 inch on each side. The tape is applied on the cabinet frame under the contact points, and not on the bottom of the drawer itself.

I have a large jewelry armoire with drawers mounted with center mount wooden slides. I can't stand the noise or the feel when pulling open the drawers. Would this tape provide ease of glide and wood on wood noise reduction?

BEST ANSWER:Doubtless the tape will reduce noise and resistance, but the question is to what degree. I suggest you try the tape and, should the results prove unsatisfactory, replace the wood slides with mechanical ball bearing undermount slides.

In refurbishing my kitchen, I was looking for a solution to the constant sawdust problem created by my wood-on-wood drawers. A web search led me here, where I ordered Nylo-Tape Drawer Slide Tape. The Tape was easy to apply, and has worked so well that I decided to install stop flaps on all the drawers after I inadvertently pulled too hard and fast on one drawer (like I used to) and wound up picking up the contents off of the floor! I will not hesitate to order this again when I refinish a couple of dressers that I picked up at rummage sales. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

I used this on our 1950s drawers. The wooden drawers rest on wooden supports so every time we opened and closed the drawers, saw dust was created and it would fall into our dishes and bowls in the cabinet underneath. This works like a charm! No more sawdust and the drawers glide in and out easily. Thanks to someone on doityourself.com forum for suggesting it.

Why did I not know about this product until now? My kitchen drawers wood on wood slide out so easily now that I've had to be careful while my muscles/brain relearn! My vintage oak desk is no longer a shoulder torturer, as even the heavy lower file drawer also wood on wood now slides out with ease. I've reordered more and am &quot;fixing&quot; all the drawers in this old house - in built-ins and in furniture. Easy to install. Oh, and no more fine sawdust in the drawers! The two widths have been a perfect match. THANK YOU to the customer care person who just happened to mention this product!

I recently restored an old bedroom chest of drawers. The drawers were &quot;old school&quot; with wooden stops and center wooden guide rail. I think it used bees wax or soap as a lubricant. I used this Nylo-tape inside the chest and now they work better than new. I used a few extra short layers near the opening to help center the drawer face in the opening.

This was for a customer that had kitchen drawers about 50 years old. The wood runners on certain drawers had worn down significantly, but with the tape used on the other drawers and some repair work on the worn ones the drawers not pull effortlessly. She is very happy and astonished at the improvement.

An amazing product! I have an old dresser passed down 4 generations. It has 2 middle metal 'guides' I guess they are that were digging into the bottom wood of the drawers and I couldn't get them out. I thought i moght no be able to use the dresser. The tape worked on the drawers AND on those metal guides! No friction and no sawdust. I am beyond thrilled that my son (3 year old) can use it easily. Thank you!!

The tape solved an ease of use and wear problem on the drawers of a very old Chinese family altar which is used as a multi-function piece of furniture in my home. Installing the tape on the bottom rails only on which the drawers slide prevents wearing friction and drawer hang-ups. (Note: It was critical to clean the runners of all dirt before adhering the tape. It's a good bond to the wood. )

We have a 1950s bungalow and the original kitchen drawers are great in appearance. The problem was the wear of the metal against wood slide when opening and closing that made them hard to use.Found out about Rokler tape and thought I'd try it out. After following the instructions on cleaning the surfaces and applying the tape, these 60 year old drawers are like new!! Very pleased with this product.

I used this on an old, old dresser whose drawers couldn't be used for years. It made them slide in and out like new. I would recommend this tape for any of the same application. The tape's glue stuck on in place and has stayed stuck with no problem.

Refurbishing an antique flat filing cabinet, the metal drawers were scraping so I used some of this tape. It worked beautifully. Adhesion side is great and the drawers slide out smoothly. This product worked very well for this application.

I use the tape to replace the worn out brass glides on our very old Youngstown metal sink base drawers, and also on the wooden drawers of our 5-drawer chest of drawers. Works great and easy to apply. Although the tape is expensive it can be economical if cut in narrow strips. I have fashion a jig using Exacto blades to do this and it works great.

I make furniture with drawers using the hardwood center slide. I put this tape on the outside edges of the drawers and the sides where there would be wood on wood contact. It makes the drawers slide easily and doesn't come up easily after its put down.

I live in Sydney Australia. My house has a 1950's timber kitchen. From the day we moved in, the kitchen drawers would NOT open easily. When you did open them, the friction would create a film of saw dust to crumble into the drawer below. Replacing the entire kitchen was not an option so we went in search of a solution. Thankfully the internet introduced us to the Rockler website. We discovered Nylo-Tape. Of course we tried to buy the product in Australia but had no success. Thankfully Rockler deliver to Oz. Our problem was immediately resolved. I highly recommend this tape. Thanks Rockler.

Used this tape on my wife's old dresser she got from her as a hand me down from her parents, it was there old dresser (1954). My wife and sister used it growing up. The drawers would stick and was out of alignment. Put tape on the bottom of the drawers and the slid area under the drawers . It work so easy now that our three year old granddaughter is now using it.

We have older cabinets with sliding drawers that are so old they started producing a saw dust sliding back and forth whenever we opened the drawers. I bugged my husband for years to put rollers on the drawers, he was concerned because they were hand crafted by his grandfather and he didn't want to alter the drawers. I decided to give this a try. It was super easy. No tools required. I did the entire kitchen without bothering my husband (you don't have to be savvy with tools). It is very easy to install. We were amazed at how easy the drawers slide now. Tips:1) After you clean the wood prior to putting the tape on, make sure the wood is thoroughly dry. 2) The picture makes the tape look wider than what we ordered.

This tape is definitely worth the money spent. We had some custom-sized drawers in our new vanity that the cabinetmaker could not put regular slides on. The sides of the drawers rubbed on the bottom of the cabinet and were hard to pull and push-especially if they were "loaded" with cosmetics, etc. I installed this tape on the cabinet and now the drawers slide just as if they had ball-bearing slides installed.

I recently purchased a refrigerator having a bottom freezer unit. When the freezer basket is full it's nearly impossible to slide it out. I experimented with Nylo-Tape, 10ml x 1/2" wide adhering it to basket guide and what a difference that makes. The basket slides with little effort making for a much more serviceable unit. In my opinion the manufacture should include this modification as part of the assembly.

Was given an older dresser for my granddaughters.....perfect size and vintage, except drawers stuck horribly. Found this tape and voila, dressers drawers slide like butter. Extremely easy to measure and apply. Thank you for a great product. A little pricey but well worth the money in saving a dresser.

These rolls of nylon tape are real good for Furniture drawer guides it makes it much smoother & easier to pull out & doesnot need any pastewax for your drawers when you use this nylon tape. It is very well worth it on the difference it makes

Our kitchen has old wooden drawers under the cabinets. They we constantly getting stuck and breaking. I saw this tape on line. I purchased a roll to try it. I replaced the sides of the drawers put the tape on it. It was a miracle cure. I ordered enough tape now to do every drawer. Way cheaper then new cabinets. Easy to apply, the whole family is thrilled with the results. Love it love I love it. Well worth the money. Holds up beautifully. We would like to give it 10 stars .

I am thrilled with my purchase of this tape. I installed it on the bottoms of my 65 year old kitchen drawers (saw dust makers). Placing the tape couldn't have been easier. The adhesive is very strong. It works so well that I almost pulled a drawer out on the floor because it glided so smoothly.

Read about the Nylo tape online and decided to try it on our kitchen drawers in our 1960-era house. The drawers were just sitting on wooden braces and the rubbing caused sawdust to fall into the cabinets below. Besides which, the drawers were incredibly hard to pull out, especially the lower big drawers. Some drawers are still difficult to open, but are considerably better than they were. I would recommend trying the NylonTape on any drawers that are sticking before doing anything else. It took 4 rolls of the 1/2" tape, and with shipping it came to almost $80-expensive, but sure better than remaking the drawers!
